7 - ELEVEN


~~~
… Oooh wee be-be freaky deaky
Think me see she pink bikini
Rock that groovy dye dashiki
Nefertiti, edges kinky
Sweatin’ out my blow out,
Sweatin’ out my press …
~~~




Today’s post was inspired by one of my favourite songs to work out to, Queen Bey’s 7 Eleven. It actually started out as a coincidence that I took out my braids just before we filmed a clip for our YouTube channel The Talk256 set at the pool and that’s how I found myself in a pink bikini with my edges kinky.

Kaiser Karl just cracks me up!

You guys, I think Kanye has been ousted from the throne of who gives the most quotable interviews! Reading the Refinery29 Karl Lagerfeld Fragrance interview was a study in restraint! I wanted to tweet every other word until I realised it's better and easier just compiling a Best Quotes blog post! So here goes guys, if you're at work you might want to read this somewhere were your deranged hyena laughter won't draw suspicious looks. Also keep away from Coke or other fizzy drinks because that shit is bad for the snot laughs about to ensue!



"Fragrance is fashion for the nose."

"Selfies are just a form of visual masturbation" Truer words have never been said.

In response to what inspires him,"You want me to remain pretentious? Myself." Dude.

"It's impolite not to have a beautiful smell." So that guy who pass in the hallway that reeks of KV? His is not an issue of hygiene, it's an issue of manners! Dude is rude to assault your nose with his foul smell!

"I only remember the pleasant things. I cannot remember anything unpleasant." This is when he fails to recall the name of a fragrance he designed with Elizabeth Arden that failed to achieve the longevity of Chanel No.5. I subscribe to the same school of thought - if you're going to dwell in the past, at least let them be happy memories.

"I'm a health freak, but I don't like that subject for conversation — fitness is as boring as sickness for a subject." I don't agree, but I admit he does have a point.

"I spent my life reading. I have not so much time. When I read I feel guilty because I say to myself 'but you have to do this.' Then it's even better because guilt at a certain level is a spicy feeling to enjoy what you are doing." Preach it Kaiser Kaiser! Nothing like guilt to spice up an already enjoyable experience. This is why reading novels under desks during prep was so irresistible!


"My website is my brain." O_o On whether he reads any online sites.

**Long live Choupette!**

I dunno about you but I love quotes, all kinds of them. I've fallen in love with people that died decades ago just because I read something they said and felt like I had come home from a long lonely journey (Here's looking at you Mae West). 
And then my love for comics goes way way back from reading the kid's section in saturday papers and devouring Modesty Blaise at the TV guide. Nothing made 12 year old me happier than a new Betty & Veronica comic book. (*side bar* At one point, a friend and I started a blog and named it Betty & Veronica. Then we both forgot our joint password!) Anyway, in high school I discovered Calvin & Hobbes and it has become a sort of litmus test for me with boy friends, if you don't chuckle even once through a Calvin & Hobbes book then I'm afraid we don't share the same sense of humour and therefore our relationship is doomed!



So imagine my joy when I discovered Zen Pencils, this great comic blog where former graphic designer cum cartoonist Gavin takes quotes submitted by readers and adapts them in to a comic strip! Over the moon doesn't even come close! People, I left this milky way and went euphorically zeroing off into an as yet undiscovered galaxy. These are some of my recent favourites, I especially love the Erica Goldson one below! Gavin put up the teacher one as follow-up to show that however true Erica was, teachers are still invaluable. The first one by Robert Frost just makes me chuckle! Because, come on! 
He also has posters for sale and stuff so usually the jpgs on his site are tiny but high res so just zoom in on these ones okay? Or just go over to his site for the real deal.
